They combine their faith, courage, and love to overcome an evil dragon slayer who seeks to bring an end to dragon heritage, forever. The kids at school call Billy "Dragon Breath" for good reason. His breath is bad! It isn't the normal morning-mouth bad; it's the hot-as-fire, "don't-you-dare-get-near-me" bad. Trouble erupts when his hot breath sets off the fire sprinklers in the boys' restroom at school, and his parents learn they they've kept their secret for too long. Billy finally discovers the secret. His father was once a dragon! Now that's a piece of news a guy doesn't deal with everyday! Billy feels betrayed, alien, lost. When the dragon slayer traps him on a cold mountaintop in West Virginia, Billy learns to battle with weapons of steel and spirit while relying on a power he doesn't understand, a power that helps him lean to trust again.

This is from the 8 yo who listened to this book. This book is the first book of Dragon's in our Midst. It was very good! I wanted to listen to it over and over again. Kids would be surprised how good it is if they didn't already know the series. I liked the way they talked about the Bible and God in the story. The author tried to show us that what you look like on the outside doesn't always reflect who you are on the inside. Who you are on the inside matters. Thanks for a wonderfull story and I am excited to read the next book when my mom gets it for me.

My son loves your books. He read the "Dragons in Our Mist" series in a week. He is now reading "Eye of the Oracle". We have already pre-ordered "Enoch's Ghost". Any parent from a Christian home should feel safe in allowing their children to read these books. Oh! I loved the books too.
